Chapter III. The sword asks Beiyan 144.The plague of the glow
Hearing this, Shen Gui didn't have time to think about why he was in the Three Immortal Caves and had such a major misjudgment of the speed of time passing. He first wiped the blood on his face with the sleeve of his robe, and then asked Zuo Qiuliang like a cannon:
"Is the mountain guard disciple on duty now reliable? Are there other secret posts on the summits around the valley? In addition to the one passage we waited for into the valley, are there other paths or tunnels that can lead out of the valley? Well... And you thirteen second-generation disciples of Sword Pool, how many of them are still in the valley now? Among the three generations of disciples, how many people have nothing to do with Zhu Wenhan? ”
Hearing Qi Yan's return, Shen Gui also had to get nervous. If the development of things is really as Zuo Qiuliang fears, then the strange silence around the Zhuhai Sword Pond now obviously has some flavor of wanting to cover up......
Zuo Qiuliang was asked about the specific affairs of these sects, and his face looked a little embarrassed. In fact, judging from the average moral conduct of the three generations of disciples of Zhuhai Sword Pool, as well as the martial arts cultivation, this Zuo Zhangmen obviously has no intention of restraining his disciples on weekdays. However, this 'dereliction of duty' is not Zuo Qiuliang's own will, but also Yue Haishan's last life!
It turned out that it was the Qingmang Sword God who left a will, instructing the 'Ancient Ring' to use the method of 'ruling by inaction' to manage the Zhuhai Sword Pool, and let those junior disciples 'self-practice', without having to restrain the young man's mind with strict rules or forced penance. Even if Gu Jie did not succeed smoothly and chose to flee from the door; But Zuo Qiuliang still respects the legacy of his ancestors, and he doesn't show up in front of the three generations of disciples at all on weekdays......
Therefore, these third-generation disciples who 'herded sheep' are actually restrained by four second-generation disciples on weekdays. For example, Zhu Wenhan is the only personal disciple of the White Ape Sword Immortal Hongfeng; In addition to his eldest disciple, there are also two hundred disciples of the White Ape Sword Immortal Hong Feng's 'most top-notch martial arts', who follow Hong Feng to maintain the safety of the sect on weekdays, and occasionally go out to find the bad luck of the barbarians, which is the right to be a 'combat exercise'.
And the other three second-generation disciples who did not show up were naturally in charge of each of them. One is responsible for production and purchasing, and the other is responsible for cleaning and hygiene; The rest of the party is in charge of the administrative work of the faction. It is also these four second-generation disciples, through each other's 'full cooperation', that can barely support a huge Zhuhai Sword Pool; However, the relationship between the four of them is very cold and alienated, and there is a tendency of 'old age and death without getting along'......
In this way, they rely on each other and restrain each other, and they happen to find a delicate balance; And this 'hands-off shopkeeper' Zuo Qiuliang is naturally happy and leisurely...... But now that the questions asked by Shen Gui have always been arranged by Hong Feng, how should he answer them for a while?
Therefore, after Zuo Qiuliang was silent for a long time, he could only barely answer one of the many questions.
"Now those who are still in the faction, in addition to Zuo, there are also injured seventh and ninth junior brothers. Well...... By the way, the sixth junior brother and the little thirteen should still be in the faction; As for the other second-generation disciples, they can't be counted on at all. ”
Shen Gui was still waiting for his next words, but when he looked at Zuo Qiuliang's face carefully, he understood a little in his heart......
"That 'beautiful senior' with the ring head knife in his hand is ranked seventh among the second-generation disciples?"
"Yes, it's the seventh brother below-Ding Xueyu."
"Well, the white-haired man with the green mangsword in his hand...... What about the white-headed old man? ”
"Huh...... It is the ninth brother below, the White Ape Sword Immortal Hongfeng. ”
"You just said that I have been delayed in the Three Immortal Caves for a day and a night?"
"Exactly!"
"Can the injuries of the two seniors improve?"
"The ninth brother only suffered a skin injury, and now he can move freely; But the seventh brother's injuries were somewhat ...... I can't speak yet, but I'm glad I'm completely conscious. ”
In fact, whether or not the 'beautiful' Ding Xueyin can speak at this time may be very important to Urge, but for Shen Gui, it is not a very urgent matter, as long as Hong Feng, who is responsible for arranging the 'guard post', is sober, it is completely enough.
At this time, Hong Feng's mental state had improved a lot after a whole day of cultivation, but perhaps because of excessive blood loss, his face was still a little pale and gloomy. When Shen Gui and the others entered the house, he was drinking medicine under the service of a third-generation disciple, and when he saw Shen Gui, the enemy, come to the door, his expression immediately became a little embarrassed......
If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Qiuliang had already told him Yue Haishan's last order in advance, he would have stood up and fought with Shen Gui a long time ago with his temper!
When Shen Gui finished telling Hong Feng what Qi Yan had seen, combining his own conjectures with Zuo Qiuliang, this hot-tempered 'old white ape' actually showed a little frightened!
Although he and Zhu Yuntao, the father of his disciple Zhu Wenhan, are not close friends, they will always receive a thank you from the Governor's Mansion during the New Year's Festival, so they have been dating for more than ten years, and Hong Feng has some understanding of the temperament of the governor of Bashu Dao.
And Zhu Wenhan was able to get under the door wall of Zhuhai Sword Pool, and he took the door of his Hongfeng. However, Hong Feng is not a villain who is greedy for wealth and clings to the powerful; But when he met Zhu Hanwen himself, he found that he was still a good material for martial arts; In addition, the lobbyist was still his old friend, so he was accepted as a personal disciple and taught him carefully all day long.
However, the relationship between talent and hard work is one of mutual achievement. Although Zhu Wenhan's martial arts talent is profound, it may also be the reason why his background is too prominent, coupled with the fact that those three generations of disciples keep touting it all day long, they finally put Zhu Wenhan in a position of 'high mountain uplift', and he can't get down.
In the Jinmen trading of Jianghu Road, there is a 'mantra' that counts hexagrams, which is called 'scolding the old and praising the small'. Most of these half-grown children are young and vigorous, coupled with the eight hundred and three generations of disciples of Jianchi, who are generally touting in circles, even if it is iron-clad willpower, there will always be a day when they will be corroded by 'sugar-coated cannonballs'. What's more, this Zhu Wenhan himself is a real 'son of the family', and he is also a proud son of heaven who is both civil and military, and has good appearance, so no matter how others praise it, it sounds like a heartfelt word! In this way, within a few months, the hands of the three generations of disciples who saw the mountains at a glance could no longer be ruthless to squeeze their hard work of getting up early and greedy for darkness......
It is said that this apprentice has become lazy and frivolous, and the master should be persuaded and restrained, right?
But he Hongfeng is also an old man with art investors, and he has never seen a thousand, at least eight hundred, for this kind of so-called 'martial arts genius' that he wasted himself! And the reason why he accepted Zhu Hanwen is also more than half of the reason, because he really can't wipe off his friend's face; Now that he sees that this son is willing to fall, what reason is there to offend this young governor of Bashu Dao? Anyway, he doesn't expect to be a martial artist to support his family in the future, and he doesn't have the idea of going to the rivers and lakes; Just let him practice a strong body under his own door and go into battle to kill the enemy, and the sword will be played...
Therefore, for so many years, when the master has been seriously taught, he has not given his apprentices 'gong', and when he has been an apprentice, he has pretended to learn, but he has not worked hard to 'practice'......
It seems that this old saying is good: the apprentice visits the master for three years, and the master visits the apprentice for three years; Even if there is even the slightest incompatibility between each other, they can't get the true mantle of the master!
However, this young governor is not sensible, but Zhu Yuntao is a good father who is open-minded and knowledgeable. He himself is a famous battlefield general in the southwest, and his ancestors are all relying on a knife and a gun to fight out the great business, so when people send their sons to learn art, they not only have a sincere and courteous attitude, but also are very reasonable; didn't put on the official frame of a feudal official just because he was a rough man who practiced martial arts.
The original words of Zhu Yuntao are like this: As long as you don't kill or cripple, you can torture him no matter how you want!
Neither dead nor crippled, is the final bottom line of people's wishes for Yuntao...... Even if this is the request of a poor people, it is not excessive, but it ......
And Hong Feng also thought of Zhu Yuntao's 'glorious achievements' in the southwest border, so he shivered!
This governor Zhu has always been as sympathetic and lenient as a spring breeze and rain to the people of Bashu Dao, but for the enemies he identifies, he has always used thunderous methods, and he has never been merciful when he makes a move! Just after he sat in the position of the governor of Bashu Dao, the governor of the southwest, who was in charge of the imperial court affairs and the livelihood of the people, was slaughtered by him as many as six times!
In fact, according to the 'unspoken rules' of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, as a second-rank governor in the civil official sequence, he is half a level higher than the governor of the same level but belongs to the military position! However, this Governor Zhu completely ignored this 'custom', and every time he stabbed an incompetent official, he would peel off his skin, and then invite a top leatherman to make a great general's drum before the battle!
And as early as after Zhu Yuntao killed the first governor who was corrupt and perverted the law, he restrained himself, got into a prisoner car, and ordered his personal guard sergeants to press the 'criminal official' who privately killed the second-rank members of the imperial court, and rushed to Yanjing City to confess his guilt and surrender to the law.
However, Zhou Yuanqing, the Emperor of Heaven at that time, didn't know if he was blinded by lard! not only personally invited this feudal official out of the prisoner car, but also personally removed the shackles and shackles for him, and made a promise in front of the Manchu Dynasty cultural relics that as long as he Zhou Yuanqing still reigned for one day, under the rule of the Northern Yan Dynasty, there would be no shackles that could be put on his neck Zhu Yuntao!
Since then, Zhu Yuntao has killed five incompetent governors one after another, until Emperor Tianyou sent the seventh governor, and the two have lived in peace until now......
This current governor of Bashu Dao, who endures humiliation and steals his life, don't look at him is only in his early thirties this year, but he is a rare young talent of Beiyan! He is not only the foundation of the two Jinshi of the Eight Classics, but also the leader of the Enke of the forty years of God's blessing......
His master is the younger brother of Zhu Gongyunshen, Xu Ran and Xu Yangling.
Moreover, the current governor still has a past between him and Shen Gui......
This person's surname, a single name, a blue character, the word list Yinshan, is the envoy sent by the Northern Yan Dynasty to the three roads of Youbei during the negotiation of the two northern wars!
